It’s not the terrorists we have to worry about, it’s little boys playing with matches. First one boy starts a massive California wildfire, now another in Lawrenceburg, Ohio, took out half a block playing with a lighter, paper, and styrofoam, causing a half million dollars in damage.

At least eight people are homeless and one woman suffered a heart attack. She is in the hospital.

At an afternoon news conference, officials said the child did not mean to cause any damage. The boy is charged with a delinquent act of arson and is due in court Tuesday. If convicted he could be sentenced to juvenile detention until age 21.
